Well eventually people were going to buy ammo for all the guns they bought when Obama started to threaten gun rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s some judicial precedents established against the 10mm round that should be considered. What do you mean? I love my 10, it’s my bedside piece. Carry is a glock 30s, double stack .45.

Carry is a glock 30s, double stack .45. There was a lawsuit a few years ago where the assailant was struck by a 10mm round. Apparently the courts felt it was excessive to use such a weapon. The FBI was going to adopt the 10mm but found the round excessive for law enforcement. I guess they didn’t want photos of people that agents shot almost blown in half. The recoil was also a little too much for some agents. Anyway, apparently the FBI and the courts though that there were better rounds other than those that turn a would-be assailant into cole slaw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted September 14, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 14, 2020 Guns shows just before Obama took office were ridiculously busy. People with hand carts full with cases of .223 / 5.56. After Obama got in even the conglomerate I worked for who also owned an ammo supplier, we couldn't even get .22 or 9mm. Occasionaly .380 and .45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Wow, prices on ammo have really gone crazy. Surfed through a couple of sites last night, gone through through the roof. All PANIC BUYING, I bet. Thing is, if you need more than a handful of rounds for home defense, you got bigger problems than ammo. What most people lose sight of, is that PEOPLE WILL BE SHOOTING BACK AT YOU!!!!! Scary shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, do you have any family, friends that would team-up with you if, THE SHIT HIT THE FAN???????? I was asking a helper if he wanted to come to my place, and take a gun, if TSHTF. His kid's best friend was a black kid, and he must have told his wife what I was talking about, 'cause he stopped coming over!!! LMAO!!!
